Thinking about how One Piece is a story that is especially well suited to the medium in which it’s being told.

One of the central pillars of One Piece’s philosophy is actions over words. It values exploring and viewing the world for yourself and coming to your own conclusions. This is simply not a story that would work in a written format, both because it deliberately disvalues words and barbecue it puts us as the audience on an equal playing field with the characters as they explore the world. No matter how much time and dedication an author puts into describing the world their characters live in, those characters will always have more information about the world that we do because they can see it plainly for themselves without having to wait for each building to be described to them. An author in a written format controls the flow of information and can keep the setting as vague or detailed as they like to suit their needs. In a visual medium, there’s much less (albeit not none) room to hide.

And yet, this story also wouldn’t (and I expect won’t) work in a more conventional visual format like plays or movies. Both are too short to do the sheer scale of the story justice and too caught up in the limitations of reality. Yes, we can see people do fantastical things in these mediums but there is always a disconnect any time special effects have to be used as well as monetary concerns that will inevitably hinder a storytellers freedom and ability to tell the story as they wish. George R.R. Martin can write thousands upon thousands of people into being as he describes epic battles and country-wide conflicts but HBO has to actually find and pay all those thousands of people to make that happen on-screen. Which usually means it dosen’t.

One Piece has to be told as a manga or animated series. They’re the only mediums that can cater to this kind of cartoon-y fantastical world and story Oda has told with them.

I must say that some of the most stupid and genius things that some authors do,in their works,is leaving plot holes that can be easily explained by some strange plot line they probably forgot about.

Take Echiro Oda for example. The guy is the mangaka of One Piece,his work is 20+ years long,and some of the plot holes he left in the beginning,if put in today's chapters,can possible pass as "foreshadow" and "ohh,this is why. Now I understand". When in reality Oda probability forgot about it or changed it.

Same thing can be said for Riordan. For example,Nico's skin in TTC is described as an "olive" color,typical of the Mediterranean. And when he come back later on he is described as extremely pale,almost like a ghost/dead person. And while Rick completely forgot about it,you can pass it as Nico's spending too much time in the Labyrinth or in the Underworld (and later on Tartarus). There are many more things that he forgot about,but the fandom can excuse them with a logical canon explication because Rick put the seeds for it. Especially with the whole memory loss problem that Nico has: he can add or retcon whatever he want about his backstory,and it can be explained with "Nico is finally remembering his life before the Lethe".

And it's a genius move to do so,especially when you are an author that doesn't reread his own works,and doesn't remember much of the previous books. But at the same time it's frustrating because you can excuse or change anything already pre-written,things that are already canon,with some no sense that can ruin your whole character.

RIP Toriyama-Sama! Thank You For Bring Delight To Many Anime And Manga Fans For Decades!

Without this man we probably wouldn't have other legendary series like One Piece where Oda himself says he was influenced and it shows. Gosh, I really hope he knows that he has led a lasting legacy that went beyond his home country into the world and how it influenced people's perception on the shonen and anime genre.
